Litchfield gallery features works by Amber Maida

Maida’s mixed media paintings are rich in texture and highly symbolic. The sculpture works are organically assembled objects and materials and will be revealed as Maida’s newest body of work during the exhibit.

Many of the materials infused with the paintings and sculptures are from her natural surroundings such as eggshells, coffee, flowers, feathers, hands of time, and found objects such as antique skeleton keys from her Connecticut home.

Formerly a Connecticut dance teacher and licensed massage therapist, she incorporates her journey through the performing and healing arts in her art making. Maida’s paintings are in public and private collections throughout the world and have been exhibited in galleries and museums internationally. She recently moved back to Connecticut after living in Southern California for five years and now resides in Litchfield.

An artist talk will be held at the gallery Saturday, May 9. Admission is free and the public is welcome.
